Japan's monster culture is very interesting. This is a topic that I am quite interested in. In this book, let's talk about Japan's monster culture. It is important to explain here that the so-called yokai in Japan is not the word "yokai" as we generally understand it. It generally refers to all strange phenomena and strange objects that cannot be explained by human wisdom. The word "yokai" was introduced to Japan from China in the Edo period of Japan a long time ago. Before that, it was generally called "chemical things". Therefore, the Japanese word "yokai" covers the concrete carriers of mythological colors including gods, ghosts, demons, demons, etc. Japanese monster culture is full of antiquity and mystery, and is inseparable from our Chinese culture. So, next, let me talk to you about Japanese monsters.
